Well she's a nice change to the ones that get mad when you are closed on other holidays :)

I got the opposite today. I'm military and go to the gym before work, so people are used to seeing me walk out in my uniform.I must have had at least 10 people stop and ask me why I wasn't in it today - then get jealous because they don't work for the federal government (if they only knew...)

Banks might be closed, but everything eles is open down here. Poor kids are like your confused patient, "why do we have school when the town over does not," My response "town over is in another state, now go to school" Them: are you sure school is open???? over and over we went, they are at school now

I don't get how patients are allowed to call you about any little thing at any time. My daughter's pediatrician's office has a message saying that if you contact them with questions after hours, there is a $20 charge. That seriously makes me think twice about what's an emergency and what isn't. Why can't you do something like that? (And if you can't, why can they??)

Welcome to my whining!
